It is interesting to note that the reverse die of the present example is shared with the 1775 4 Escudos also in this sale. Close inspection reveals many characteristics and diagnostics that match on both coins with the most obvious being the over assayer's letters and a small depression in the outline of the coat of arms at 6 o'clock. This indicates that this reverse was in use for well over a decade and suffered minimal damage or degradation. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
